Hello Edwin,
Yes to everything you have said. Absolutely!
That's the crux - the fact that Satan appears one day AS A MAN (the anti-christ), in the future just bolsters the point.
These angels thankfully are in chains, because they didn't just rebel, they SINNED as men with the daughters of men, and produced MUTANTS (giants).

I have carefully read all of the responses to this
question, and also have researched the scripture text'
in question. I have a point to ponder with you.
There are various incidents in scripture where angels
are seen as "men". The 2 "men" that visited Lot. The
angel s or 3 "men" that visited Abraham. The angel who
stopped Balaam.The angel Gabriel who came to Daniel.In
the New testament the "man"at the entrance of the
empty tomb. 
Is  it too far fetched to suppose that during the time
that these  and other angels were able to present
themselves as "men" that they were able to function in
every respect as "men"? after all these angels/men
were able to eat and drink with Lot and With Abraham.
Is it not possible that could also "take to themselves
the daughters of men to wife?
Si posible! No?
